Coaching For Growth Comes to Quail!

One of the reasons I love the ministry here at Quail is that I see so much help being given to folks in crisis by so many. Just about every day, I observe a member of our Lay Counseling Team meeting with and assisting an individual or a couple in our counseling office.

As I reflect on that, I realize that while this counsel is a blessing, it means by definition that there has been an experience of great pain. Wouldn’t it be great if we could launch a ministry that would be just as active guiding people in advance of painful choices and helping them to avoid some of the trauma that is out there?

That is why I am so excited about the possibility of a “Lay Coaching” ministry here at Quail. I envision a trained and gifted cohort of coaches who will help others tap into their God given potential, come to see the way that God has designed them, and live a fuller, richer life in Jesus. A life that avoids some of the hurts while moving forward toward the goals that God has in mind for them.

That is why we are so thrilled to announce the “Coaching for Growth” seminar with Linda Miller. This workshop is designed to give you the basic tools to take a coach approach to your own life, and in the lives of others. Linda is truly one of the best Christian coaches in the world. She works for the Ken Blanchard Companies, where she serves as the Global Liaison for Coaching Services. That means she trains and works with pastors, denominational leaders and not-for-profit ministry leaders, along with Fortune 500 companies.

You will not want to miss this opportunity on Friday, Ocober 12, 6:30 - 9:00 pm, and Saturday Oct. 13, 8:30 am - 3:30 pm .This workshop is open to everyone- and could benefit you in all of your relationships. Lunch on Saturday is included with your registration. Cost is $25. Registration deadline is October 3. Click here to register, or call the church office, 951-7380, for more information.

See you there!
